This Sun Dried Tomato Chicken Pasta comes together quickly ~ dinner can be on the table in less than 30 minutes.
Easy Sun Dried Tomato Chicken Pasta Recipe - this quick and easy dinner can be on the table in less than 30 minutes ~ https://jeanetteshealthyliving.com

There are many days when I have no idea what I’m making for dinner. Time is short, the kids are hungry, and I find myself in a flurry of activity in the kitchen as I try to whip up something quick and easy for dinner. This is a pasta dish I threw together over the summer, which can be served year-round.

The day I made this for my boys, I had made my way to Costco’s and picked up a double pack of organic whole chickens, a pack of organic boneless chicken breast and sun-dried tomatoes among other items. At first, I thought of making Roast Chicken or Chicken Scallopine with Lemon Sauce, but something simpler and faster was in order that evening as my boys kept circling the kitchen island asking when dinner was going to be ready.

My first instinct was just to throw a pot of water on the stove to boil while I figured out what to make. Pasta is always welcome at the dinner table, so as I thought about what I had handy, this easy Sun Dried Tomato Chicken Pasta came to mind. Topped with a sprinkling of one of my favorite cheeses – Sartori’s Merlot Bellavitamo cheese – it was worthy of even a special occasion.

Easy Sundried Tomato Chicken Pasta

Marinating the chicken with wine and cornstarch keeps the chicken moist and tender (it's the same technique used in stir-fries).
Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 10 minutes
Total Time 20 minutes
Servings 3

Ingredients

  • 2 boneless chicken breasts cut into strips
  • 1 tablespoon white wine
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch
  • salt and pepper
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 5 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/2 cup sun dried tomato strips in olive oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 2 teaspoons herbs de provence or other favorite herb mix
  • 1/2 cup white wine
  • 1/2 pound gluten-free pasta
  • fresh minced parsley
  • fresh grated cheese optional

Instructions

  1. Bring a big pot of water to boil for the pasta.
  2. Meanwhile, marinade chicken strips with wine, cornstarch, a little salt and pepper.
  3. Heat oil in large skillet. Add garlic and saute until light brown; add chicken and saute until just cooked through. Add sun dried tomato strips, red pepper flakes, and herbs and saute another minute. Add wine and let reduce. Meanwhile, cook pasta according to package directions; when done, reserve 1 cup of pasta cooking liquid; drain pasta. Add drained pasta to chicken in pan. Add reserved pasta water as needed to loosen up pasta and sauce. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Garnish with minced parsley; serve with fresh grated cheese if desired.

    i need to make this for 6 adults. Do I double everything in the recipe? It seems like a lot of garlic and herbs if I double them. Thanks!

      My family loves garlic so I use more than the average person in my recipes. You might want to leave the same amount of garlic even when doubling the recipe if you’re afraid of garlic breath. I would use 3 teaspoons of herbs if you double it.

    Excellent recipe!
    Had leftover roasted chicken that I used in place of chicken breasts and used chicken broth instead of white wine. It came out awesome! Thanks for sharing!

    Hi Jeanette! When I saw this recipe I decided to try it because it’ similar to one that I make that I call Pasta & Peas 🙂 We had it last night for dinner, the only change I made was to add in some chicken broth with the wine since I used more chicken than what the recipe called for. So I needed more liquid. I wanted to let you know it was delicious, so thank you! 🙂
